Rumoured Luke Shaw

[nyikolajevics 2,596]

Hes been a huge let down for United this year hasn't he?

He's been underperforming for United just like Falcao and Di Maria. United spent a fortune on them so this must be a huge disappointment for them.

Definitely been disappointing not just for United fans but a lot of England fans and even people on this forum when we were constantly linked thought he was better than Cole and even Bertrand who has replaced him at Southampton with ease.

Hindsight is 20/20

some of us were SCREAMING NOOOOOOOO from the start

Rodriguez of Wolfsburg was a much better buy. I'd love to see Chelsea go in for him and put Dave on the right.

If Luis couldn't dethrone Azpi, nobody can.

I wouldn't buy him at that time because we had more important targets in that window like Costa, Fabregas etc and it would be more dificult to have money for Shaw... but right now with the team we have maybe it would be good to try a player like this if we have the chance.

30M£ was clearly over payed, but he is a kid, he has a lot of time to improve, he has quality... I don't think they will regret this buy that much. Even if they sell him they can get 20M£ without a problem.

I think there will again be more important priorities in the summer.

Why jumping on this kid ? Because he doesn't perform in the United team, well for me that doesn't tell much. Rubbish teams can make their players look rubbish. Then it only need one or two cogs to click to have a whole machine running. It's always like that. Now Di Maria is on rubbish site also. And players like Varane, Benzema or Isco are made pretty shit. They're not. Schalke was looking like a laughing stock when we beat them last time. What're today thoughts about them ?

Filipe is great and especially after he put his slightly shaky defence behind him, since January he does absolutely brilliant job whenever has a chance. But if we're talking about next LB then better search for someone 6'1". Mourinho likes to have big full-backs.

Luke is pretty big in that Jose mould. I'd still take him in a heartbeat.

Hes pretty big physically but hes hardly hyped up as what people said. I remember people saying he was ready to play for a top team and I was like how? Because hes played 3 seasons for Southampton? One season in Championship and 2 in the PL, 0 games in Europe? In fact some people said he was good enough to be Englands first choice LB as well....

Eight months into his first season at a big club and people are already jumping on his back. Typical. That's without even mentioning he's only 19 and was bought for the future.

People expect more from a 30 million player which is understandable.

Not exactly his fault that United paid 30m for him when his worth is much lower than that. The idea of judging a player solely based on the transfer fee is kinda silly.

[Reddish-Blue 2,358]

Feel bad for Shaw, going to a mess of a club in United wasn't really a good decision

Would of been interesting to see how he developed under Jose...

Of course it's not his fault but if he was a player from United's academy noone would say he is underperforming. It doesn't mean he is a flop but fans and the media will put extra pressure on him because of his price tag.

[JDY 1,290]

Being average in an average team isn't the most worrying thing for me here. The reason why I was skeptical about wanting him here with the money involved was because of his horrendous injury record. There's no doubting he's talented, but every year since he's been in the spotlight he's been plagued with tweeks and pulled muscles.

No its not his fault and it is also not fully his fault hes under performed because people overrated him to the heavens and back because hes young and English.

I was one of the few that fought hard with the 'no thanks' brigade. He's got good potential but there was nothing I saw that he did particularly well that made me think he was for sure a 30m player. The English tax is a joke... Especially when English players are nowhere among the best in the world. 30m plus 100k in wages is just way too much to spend on a teenager because he's English.

Ricardo Rodriguez is the guy you can see being the next big thing at LB, he's shown way more than Shaw, miles really

[!Hazard! 3,394]

I wonder if he's in Mourinho's plans in the future. Sure, some criticisms is far from an actual fall-out between Shaw and Mourinho but still....

 

Mourinho sold Cech to Arsenal and Mata to United so he has no problems in selling players to rivals. Could he sell this gem of a player to us?
